Birth Control
I've been on two pills. Levora was great until I hit over a year of use then I started to gain 20 pounds in water weight & had PMDD. So I switched to YAZ.. mood improved so much but I am still gaining the water weight.. if not MORE!
It lasts for over 2 weeks and then my stomach goes back to normal for less than a week. I can't afford to keep buying new clothes. I look like I'm pregnant. I am on the verge of going up another cup size. I am 5'1, D cup, 100-130+ pounds & only 17 years old.
Any suggestions? I'm sexually active so I would like to switch onto another pill. A friend suggested Depo

But I would like to hear something from people with experience and the knowledge of various pills PLEASE!
Working out & such doesn't do much because I can work hard to get my belly back.. til the week before my period and I gain it all back. I am just wanting some advice or something. This wouldn't bother me if I could afford new clothes but I can't and I'm only limited to so much a week.. and ugh. It's just NOT comfortable.

I am 17 as well.
I have been taking a pill called Reclipsen for over a year and I haven't noticed any gain in water weight. You may want to look into it. However, it doesn't shorten or lighten my period at all.

You may want to look into and ask your doctor about Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. It is known to not make you gain weight. It also known to help clear up acne. I personally have been on it for over 2 years and have seen cleaere skin, and maintained my weight. It has very low side effects; they even perscribe it to young young girls that want to just clear up their skin. You can go online and read more about it to see if you are interested. :)

Yaz like inflates your chest... it gets annoying..
i had a bad experience with it and so i went to my gyno and she put me on watson low-ogestrel [its generic but they should know what i mean]. i haven't noticed any weight gain [cuz i already got huge from yaz and a whole summer of pigging out] but definitely talk to your gyno about switching if you have any concerns. <3
